It used to be that everyone started at the bottom. Now kids study well into adulthood and want to start at the top. Right after college they want to move to a big city, rent a nice house, have an easy job, one of those bs jobs preferably, and earn big money. They are disappointed if they have to start working in a fast food joint, or as a cashier.

“… the leftist author is of the point of view that gubment & NGO jobs or DEI jobs held by minorities or women are never bullsh*t jobs - only corporate jobs are…”

Thanks for pointing that out about David Graeber. He was one of those “anarchists” who always wind up with a centrally planned economy. With them in charge, obviously.

Most of the book is still relevant though along with the many real anecdotes he collected for it from people who have held such jobs...

I’ll take your word for it. His book about debt is economic creationism of a particularly exalted vintage. Dude was an idiot.
